Sometimes the girl who is obsessed with perfect is given a dog who HATES having photos taken of her. Which is pretty unfortunate for a photographer, I must say 😂 .
.
I can see a thousand things wrong with this photo like the fact that Kiara is pushing me over trying to face away from the camera, my eyes are squinted almost shut while laughing off to the side, and it was taken with my moms cell phone. My hair isn’t even brushed 😳 But I still love this photo. I’ll print it and put it on my wall. .
.
Because real is better than perfect. 2018 is still just beginning, yet I know this is my mantra this year. It’s also what I need to work most on accepting. And I’m hoping all of you will work on it too because growth doesn’t come from perfection. Loving yourself isn’t just for those who think they are perfect. And I want self love and growth for all of us, not just me.

Valentine’s Day is approaching and even though it’s not my favorite holiday, I DO love reminders for people to love each other and themselves! Want to celebrate Valentine’s Day for yourself or as a special gift? Hit me up! I have plenty of times the next three weeks!

Some days I wish I could clone myself so I could get twice as much work done 😂 I have so many plans to implement for the new year, but I have to get all the galleries from 2017 delivered first! Keep me productive friends!

Let’s be real for a second- you already look back and wish you were at your prepregnancy weight or had a butt like you did in high school. Am I right? And I bet another 10 years from now, you wish you looked like you did today. Pssst- enough! Curves are sexy! Embrace what you have because I guarantee another wishes they looked like you 😎 #goforit#beyoursef#stophiding

I know I know .. Christmas just happened. But ladies + gents, Valentines Day is just around the corner. Surprise your loved one and pamper your badass self at the same time! #boudoirmarathon#bestvalentinesdayever
